The Lord Doesn't Explain Himself

Something to consider. The Lord does not often explain himself ahead of time. Why you might ask?

Because then you won’t learn, you won't grow

Using a story from the Bible. Why did The Lord tell Gideon to reduce his army for example? Well The Lord didn’t explain why, even in the story.

But what can we realize from the story? If Gideon knew why The Lord was telling him to do it, it would alter or change how Gideon responded. And also what Gideon learned from the situation.

You see we often have to go through something, in order for us to learn.

If we knew more information in advance, like why The Lord was having us go through this storm, it would take away from your ability to learn. It would take away from our growth. It would take away from our change.

So yes, The Lord doesn't explain himself when He directs us.

So yes, He could explain himself if he wanted to.

But it would reduce your growth, reduce your healing. Do you really want that?
